School me on supercharging a 360

Coyote Jack said

Like I said rumble, I know next to nothing on this type of setup. I thought that all blowers used blow through carbs, but after thinking about it some more, that would be the type of carb a Paxton would use as opposed to a roots type blower would it not?

Wouldn't the blower have a tendancy to suck in rain water if it's sticking out of the hood?

I personally like a blow-through set up. Something about compressing fuel and detonation happening in something that sticks above the hood line scares the crap out of me! When it comes to forced induction I like to keep the fuel out of the impeller/turbine,just seems safer.But I also prefer turbos to superchargers 9/10 times. V8's have no problem with bottom end torque,which is the only benifit that a supercharger has over a turbo.

As for rain getting in,thats why you run a carb hat with a filter!
